I hear a lot of Christians say that they don't vote because they are no longer concerned with this world... their Kingdom is in Heaven. Well... that is partially true. Our Kingdom is in Heaven but we still have to exist in this world until God calls us home.
Not only that our children and grandchildren have to live here too.
We are to select our governing officials:
"Moreover you shall select from all the people able men, such as fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness; and place such over them to be rulers of thousands, rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens. "
—Exodus 18:21 (nkjv)
If we select wisely God will heal the land
"If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land."
— 2 Chronicles 7:14 (nkjv)
We are responsible to see that only the righteous rule
"When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; but when a wicked man rules, the people groan."
— Proverbs 29:2 (nkjv)
All things are created through Him and for Him. Pray for the righteous.
"For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him."
— Colossians 1:16 (nkjv)
